I'm sorry that happened... but that took a bit of courage to go back and try and confront your feelings.......

I bungee jumped off a 180' bridge in New Zealand because the cute blonde, blue-eyed German girl goaded me into doing it. Longest five seconds of my entire life.

Bwah. Did the same in a parking lot in Vegas. Why? To see if it would get me over my fear of heights.

No bueno.

Yes I agree and it seems more men seem to need to prove themselves.
Sometimes it nice to be an old woman. It doesn't bother me in the least to say chit yeah I'm scared, I'll admit I'm a -----------.
